Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Jonssøn Quisling (18 July 1887–24 October 1945) was a Norwegian military officer, politician, and Nazi collaborator who nominally headed the government of Norway during the occupation of the country by Nazi Germany during World War II. He first came to international prominence organizing humanitarian relief during the Russian famine of 1921. He was posted as a Norwegian diplomat to the Soviet Union, and for some time also managed British diplomatic affairs there. He returned to Norway in 1929, and served as Minister of Defence in the governments of Peder Kolstad (1931–32) and Jens Hundseid (1932–33). In 1933, Quisling founded the fascist party Nasjonal Samling. His party failed to win any seats in the Storting and by 1940 it was little more than peripheral. On 9 April 1940, with the German invasion of Norway in progress, he attempted to seize power in the world's first radio- broadcast coup d'état, but failed after the Germans refused to support his government. From 1942 to 1945 he served as Prime Minister of Norway, heading the Norwegian state administration jointly with the German civilian administrator Josef Terboven. The collaborationist government participated in Germany's Final Solution, a genocidal program targeting Jews. Quisling was put on trial after World War II. He was found guilty of charges including embezzlement, murder and high treason against the Norwegian state, and was executed. More

As described in his memoirs, Radosh was a member of the Communist Party of the United States of America until the Khrushchev thaw. Subsequently, he became a New Left and anti-Vietnam War activist. Later, Radosh turned his attention to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. Radosh concluded that Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were indeed guilty of spying for the KGB. Radosh's decision to publish his findings led to his social ostracism. Radosh's political views eventually began to shift towards conservatism and his work as a historian has been characterized as being of a conservative variety. Currently employed by the Hudson Institute, Radosh has also published books about the activities of Joseph Stalin's NKVD during the Spanish Civil War and the foundation of the State of Israel. More

According to Radzinsky, Stalin was poisoned by order of Lavrentiy Beria. His book includes an interview with a former bodyguard of Stalin, who stated that on the night of Stalin's death, the bodyguards were relieved of duty by an NKVD officer named Khrustalev.
